[NFB-Krafters-Korner] [LoomKnittingClass] Looking Ahead

[Deborah MacIlroy]

All of the above for me also. I would like to do more than just make dish cloths. I would like to learn different stitches and different patterns. A baby sweater would be great. But I am also interested in big projects. So a variety of large and small projects and learning different stitches would be fun. Thank you for asking us. Deb

Looking for resources to either scale up or scale down, depending on the learner, I’ve recently started working projects on the small gage loom and find that a good platform for scaling up skills.  I’m looking forward to working some projects on the spool loom/with I-Cord as a more simplified approach for folks who would benefit from starting simpler.  So small gage and spool loom projects are totally welcome.  I’d also be interested in more options with a standard loom  size (5/8, correct?) to build on hats and scarves, and perhaps projects for the smaller flower loom size.

I’m not personally super excited about holiday stuff, though it makes a good foundation for teaching classes and bringing people together.  I am into practical items, like hats, scarves, socks, bags, blankets, and perhaps learning techniques for making custom items, like if I wanted to make a cozy for something.
